Section IV - TCP/IP

Some BOOTP servers will write their internal bootptab tables to a file when they receive a SIGUSR1 signal. You can check this file to verify the hardware and IP ad- dress are correct. You can use the kill com- mand to send signals. For example,

kill –USR1 <process id of bootpd> . Check your documentation for more information.

Check the system’s syslog file. Some BOOTP servers will write error messages into the syslog file.

Example:

Sep 6 14:38:43 bootpd[17565]: hardware address not found:

004068175042

This message appears when the BOOTP server received a request from a device not in its internal bootptab tables.

Static Route Entry

If the OkiLAN 6010e has printed a configuration page showing the default address, but it cannot be reached through telnet, check the following:

Display the host’s routing tables with the ‘netstat –r’ command. Verify the route has been set correctly.

If the route is set correctly, try pinging the device.
